According to the 2007 District of Columbia HIV/AIDS Epidemiology Report, DC has the highest reports of new cases of AIDS in the entire nation. Other American Cities are suffering, too. Check out the websites below for information about AIDS, the epidemic, and events that you can attend around the region to educate yourself and your loved ones and help stop the spread of this horrible disease.
